Humans

You are a human being And so am I We breath air like human beings should We are 70% water With out it we would be nothing We feel emotions Like an involuntary ability to sense the world around We feel pain, happiness, lust, love, anger, and obsessions We make mistakes We hurt people And we hurt ourselves We mess up We destroy things We destroy the things we love And we destroy the people we love We are fragile beings It doesn’t take much to make us fall apart We have imperfections painting our bodies Whether it be a chemical imbalance or a big nose We have insecurities and we sin We can be selfish And selfless We as human beings can be caring and sweet We can be spiteful and bitter Homo sapiens sapiens Are never going to be what we want to be Rarely can we do things right Compared to all the things we do wrong But if I had to be human with anyone I would be a screwed up bag of water with you any day
